Executive Summary
The impact of the digital media on the media industry
The traditional media industry has been in turmoil since the rise of digital media platforms, which have impacted upon many aspects of the media industry of old. These changes, combined with an economic downturn, have led to much unrest in the media sector. Major competing sectors include TV and radio broadcasting, newspaper publishers, and the film, music and video industries.
The digital media companies are the clear leaders however, and to a certain extent there will be parallel developments: one driven by digital TV, using the traditional broadcasting networks; and one driven by broadband, using new fixed and mobile telco infrastructure. In 2013 the advertising spending being directed towards digital media continues to grow, further escalating the problems for the traditional media.

Argentina&rsquo;s mobile revenues are two thirds of the total and growing

BuddeComm&rsquo;s yearly update of Argentina - Telecoms, Mobile, Broadband,&nbsp;and Forecasts provides a comprehensive overview of the trends and developments in the telecommunications market of Argentina, including the regulator&rsquo;s statistics, company data, and other industry indicators to the end of 2012, as well as estimates for 2013 and expected market developments in the coming years.

Economic climate

For Argentina, 2012 was a disappointing year, with GDP growth well below market forecasts. The outlook remains uncertain; economists&rsquo; projections vary between 1.8% and 4.6% GDP growth for 2013. Inflation remains a serious problem. Other macroeconomic, legal, and regulatory challenges include nationalisation risks, tight import controls, and restrictions on currency exchange.

Rising imperative for new business models to succeed as LTE and FttX fuel data demand

Hong Kong, a Special Administrative Region (SAR) of China, has built one of the most sophisticated and dynamic telecommunications markets in the world. Hong Kong&rsquo;s regulator, the Office of the Communications Authority (OFCA), has played a major role in developing the telecom sector. The country has put in place substantial infrastructure which supports one of the world&rsquo;s highest population penetration of mobile and fixed telephone services at around 230% and 50% respectively.&nbsp;

In addition to Hong Kong&rsquo;s strong technology edge, its close geographical proximity to mainland China makes it a key gateway for all foreign telecom companies and equipment vendors.

BuddeComm&rsquo;s annual publication, France - Telecoms, IP Networks, Digital Media and Forecasts, provides a comprehensive overview of the trends and developments in the telecommunications and digital media sectors of one of Europe&rsquo;s largest markets. The report includes the regulator&rsquo;s market data for 2012, operator data to Q4 2012 and market developments to April 2013.

Economic background

France&rsquo;s economy continues to be sickened by the ongoing Eurozone crisis, with public finances in a poor position and a high ratio of debt to GDP. The exposure of French banks to Greek debts and the risk to the country&rsquo;s credit rating prompted the government to introduce a variety of tax measures worth &euro;12 billion for 2011-2012 in a bid to reduce the deficit to 3% of GDP in 2013. Real GDP growth reached only about 0.2% in 2012, and is expected to remain low for 2013.

Amidst the global downturn, Latin America&rsquo;s pay TV market booms

Convergence and competition

In Latin America, convergence has become a popular solution not only for companies, as a way to attract more customers, but also for regulators, as a way to promote competition. In most countries, the incumbents continue to dominate the fixed-line sector, with Local Loop Unbundling being rare in this region and wholesale activity not very well developed. In the broadband sector, most incumbents have secured a virtual monopoly in the delivery of ADSL access, and the only meaningful competition is across technologies, from cable modem and mobile broadband services.

The concern many governments face is the shortage of fixed line infrastructure, tied to the fear that operators will cease to invest in their network if they are forced to unbundle their local loop or lower wholesale prices. Of course, telecom companies have done their best to encourage this fear.

Slowing growth underlines challenges ahead

The mobile markets of the Middle East are entering a new phase of development marked by slow growth, indicative of its mature market status. As with any mature market a number of trends have emerged that are likely to influence future market direction. Key among these is increased competition, focus on profitability and mobile broadband.

Mobile subscription levels are high in part due to multiple SIM card ownership and demographic factors. Multiple SIM card ownership is common due to the high proportion of prepaid users relative to total users. With no lock in contract to any particular service provider, end users can purchase prepaid services to take advantage of market promotions. Another factor driving multiple SIM card ownership is the lack of mobile number portability in many markets although this is slowly improving, with just under half the markets in the region now offering the facility.

As the television broadcasting industry moves towards 100% digital signal saturation the industry is coming to the crossroads where the viewing audience and their choices will determine the course. By end-2013 the digital TV signals will have become the norm as analogue TV broadcasting ceases. The subscription TV (STV) has had both satellite and cabled networks in digital for some time. The final bastion of the analogue transmission spectrum may remain in use for many decades before we hear finally digital radio across all of Australia.

Currently at the television crossroads, we see big TV and its traditional FTA viewing mediums incurring greater debts and losses in market capitalisation as big TV is driven by market share reporting.

In terms of usage, the region is well ahead of the world average, having reached an estimated 115% mobile penetration at end-2012 against a global rate of around 96%. However, over 80% of LAC&rsquo;s mobile subscribers are on prepaid plans.

Mobile operators

Six major multinational operators serve roughly 80% of the region&rsquo;s market: Am&eacute;rica M&oacute;vil, Telef&oacute;nica, Telecom Italia, Millicom, and Digicel. Am&eacute;rica M&oacute;vil is the leader, followed by Telef&oacute;nica. In fact, Am&eacute;rica M&oacute;vil and Telef&oacute;nica compete against each other in most of Latin America&rsquo;s major economies. Between them, they serve about 61% of the region&rsquo;s mobile subscribers (down from 64% in 2008).

Smart phone uptake driving industry growth

The global mobile sector is being driven by a rapidly changing market led by consumer demand, handset saturation and the demand for faster-speed technologies. Competition in the industry is driving the market to a lower dollar value return on a user basis. This is being compensated by more data use on a variety of mobile devices and growth in the emerging machine-to-machine (M2M) market.

With the mobile handset market being driven by smartphone uptake; both mobile broadband and the use of over-the-top applications is increasing. This in turn is depriving the mobile network operators from their traditional income streams. Mobile voice calls have now reached their peak and will start a slight level of ongoing decrease over coming years.

It has become acknowledged that the amount of spectrum needed to satisfy people&rsquo;s demand from mobile phones, tablets and soon a range of other smart devices is going to be limitless.

Weak competition and insufficient bandwidth push up broadband prices in Latin America

Competition

Most telecoms markets across Central American and the Caribbean have been liberalised, with the notable exception of Cuba and some remaining instances where the state has retained a significant interest in the incumbent operator. New entrants using VoIP, wireless technologies, or triple play solutions are attracting a growing number of subscribers, but their market share remains comparatively small. Almost invariably, the incumbents continue to dominate the fixed line industry. Alternative telcos have been able to establish themselves in a number of smaller markets where poor penetration of services and small populations provide limited potential for growth. Nevertheless, in the Caribbean the key players LIME and Digicel have shown renewed commitment, maintaining investment and engaging in M&amp;A activity in recent quarters to consolidate their interests in the region.

Economic background

From 2013 to 2020, GDP in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) is expected to grow by approximately 4% per annum &ndash; slightly above the projected world average of about 3%. Predictions indicate that Panama, Peru, and Paraguay will be LAC&rsquo;s fastest growing economies, while Brazil will recover from its 2012 slump, and growth will remain robust in Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Uruguay, and most of Central America.

Of Asia&rsquo;s key market segments, the mobile market still has more room to grow as both mobile voice and data services in various forms continue to expand at a rapid rate all through the region. In the same manner the provision of internet access across the wider region still requires more effort to connect people to the internet and as a consequence there are still plenty of opportunities for growth. Although mobile broadband services are to some extent filling the gap in this market, ultimately there will be a need for fixed broadband services with more bandwidth.

The NBN in 2013

At the start of 2013 NBN Co indicated that the&nbsp;rollout&nbsp;plan was now slightly above target. This bodes well for a rapid rollout of the network, to reach close to four million connections by 2015. With all the major foundations now in place it should be reasonably plain sailing from here.

The ACCC has laid down its wholesale conditions&nbsp;for&nbsp;the transitional period and it is in this area that further tension will develop, especially at the point when the copper services are actually being cut off and all the customers are being transferred to the&nbsp;FttH&nbsp;network.

Also, more detailed information is becoming available from the Opposition and, while there remain strong areas of disagreement, the reality is that despite the possibility of a change of government in late 2013 the NBN is here to stay.

Singapore&rsquo;s national broadband network roll-out moves closer to completion

Singapore has developed the status of a world leader in telecommunications through the building of a high quality and extremely progressive regulatory environment for the local telecommunications sector that has, in turn, generated a highly competitive market. The Infocomm Development Authority (IDA), the nation&rsquo;s telecoms regulator, reports that Singapore&rsquo;s fixed-line household penetration rate is 104% (late 2012); about 20% of the population have two fixed telephone services at home. At the same time, its booming mobile market has a penetration of 150% and that market is continuing to grow. Singapore&rsquo;s 3G market segment is also growing strongly. By the start of 2010 there were already 4.8 million 3G subscribers; making up about 66% of the total mobile subscriber base at the time.

High cost is partly due to the lack of effective competition in many areas, with dominant players increasing charges regardless of the falling cost of delivering data.

Large parts of Africa have gained access to international fibre bandwidth via submarine cables for the first time in recent years.

This has led to massive investments into terrestrial fibre backbone infrastructure to take the new bandwidth to population centres in the interior and across borders into landlocked countries.

Executive Summary

Australia&rsquo;s $43 billion telecoms market
National Broadband Network

Several things became clear during the privatisation process of Telstra in the 00s. Broadband quality was below the international benchmark; end-user and wholesale prices were above that mark; and there was no economically viable business case for high-speed broadband infrastructure for regional and rural Australia. At that time both sides of government were in favor of government intervention in order to rectify this situation.

Executive Summary

Australia&rsquo;s $43 billion telecoms market
National Broadband Network

Several things became clear during the privatisation process of Telstra in the 00s. Broadband quality was below the international benchmark; end-user and wholesale prices were above that mark; and there was no economically viable business case for high-speed broadband infrastructure for regional and rural Australia. At that time both sides of government were in favor of government intervention in order to rectify this situation. Telstra, however, was determined to maintain its monopoly and in the end the government had to step in. This led to the structural separation of the company.

Telekom Deutschland looks to DSL vectoring to meet broadband targets

BuddeComm&rsquo;s annual publication, Germany - Telecoms, IP Networks, Digital Media and Forecasts, provides a comprehensive overview of the trends and developments in the telecommunications and digital media markets in one of Europe&rsquo;s largest countries. The report includes the regulator&rsquo;s market data for 2011, VATM market data for 2011, telcos&rsquo; operating and financial data to September 2012, and market developments to December 2012.

Telecom market overview

Germany&rsquo;s telecom market is supported by one of the largest and more affluent populations in Europe. Although the VATM expected total turnover to fall slightly in 2012, BITKOM forecasted a 2.8% growth in IT and telecoms in the year, falling to 1.6% in 2013. The market has been propped up by broadband and mobile data services while revenue from mobile voice services will continue to fall steadily.

Mobile phones represent more than 90% of all telephone lines in Africa. Market penetration passed the 65% mark in early 2012, with an annual growth rate of around 20%. However, individual markets are still growing at 50% p.a. or more, and others stand at less than half the penetration rate. The continent&rsquo;s most advanced markets have passed the 100% penetration mark.

The introduction of prepaid services and a steady decline in tariffs has meant that two thirds of Africa&rsquo;s more than one billion people can now afford a mobile phone. However, as lower income groups are being targeted, the declining Average Revenue per User (ARPU) is putting pressure on the network operators' profit margins. Price wars have broken out in some markets where a large number of operators have been licensed. Despite this, international investors are still very keen to enter the market through new mobile licences or shares in existing mobile operations in Africa.

The Dutch telecom market, boasting one of the most developed infrastructures in Europe, supports the highest regional fixed-broadband penetration as well as high mobile penetration. The success of the mobile sector since 2006 has largely been due to strong competition among MNOs and the range of MVNOs.

Revenues from the Tier 1 telcos flatten, as market continues to increase into 2013

In 2012 annual revenue growth from the two of the major telco providers was around 1%, while Vodafone the smaller of the major players saw a double digit revenue decrease. While total subscriber numbers also increased, a major impact in revenue has been the decrease in the average revenue per user (ARPU) margin. The telcos have increased their capital expenditure in the last year in new faster networks aiming to keep and attract customers and in turn upping the ARPU margin. In this publication we provide information on the telco revenues, ARPU and capex and also analyse these major telecommunication providers operationally and on other financial measures.

The report includes the regulator&rsquo;s market data to the end of 2011, telcos&rsquo; financial and operating data to June 2012, and market developments to September 2012.

Telecom market overview

The Swiss telecom market has shown some weakening during the last few years as the country&rsquo;s overall economy is dragged down by the region&rsquo;s poor economic climate. In addition, revenue has been hit by the continuing effects of falling prices resulting from competition and regulatory measures. The number of fixed lines also continues to fall as consumers migrate to VoIP and mobile-only telecoms.

Asia&rsquo;s highly competitive mobile market is built on a multitude of innovative operators

Across Asia a total of around three billion mobile subscribers are being served by a large number of mobile operators. The operators are continuing to drive the market, expanding it by more than 10% annually coming into 2012. This market report presents a wide-ranging review, providing details on around 175 of the mobile operators to be found in Asia in 2012.

The list of operators ranges from the giant China Mobile with almost 700 million subscribers right through to a number of much smaller operators with only a few thousand subscribers each. BuddeComm&rsquo;s overview of operators in the region does not claim to present an exhaustive list of licensed operators but it certainly is indicative of the breadth and variety of operator to be found in the region. It also reflects the highly commercial and competitive nature of the mobile sector in this region.

Competition hots up in Chile&rsquo;s mobile market

Chile stands out in Latin America for its openness to innovation, and this is particularly true in telecommunications. Solid economic growth and a progressive regulatory system have contributed to make Chile&rsquo;s telecom market one of the most dynamic in the region. The government takes a proactive role in promoting telecom competition and places no restriction on foreign investment. As a result, the country&rsquo;s telecom sector is a popular target with both national and international investors.

Competition is hotting up in 2012 thanks to the introduction of fixed and mobile number portability as well as the launch of four new mobile market players, with a fifth one expected to begin operations by early 2013. The four are Nextel, VTR, GTD, and Virgin Mobile. Nextel and VTR have launched 3G networks, while GTD and Virgin Mobile are offering Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) services.

The 3G fiasco has been an ominous cloud hanging over Pakistan&rsquo;s otherwise energetic telecom sector

The progressive implementation of the Pakistan government&rsquo;s reform plans over a number of years has triggered a period of strong growth in the local telecom market. Up until recently the energy and growth was predominantly in mobile services; as the mobile market moderates, the focus has shifted to broadband access in its various forms. In the meantime, there has been no significant activity in fixed-line services as originally intended and in fact subscriptions in this sector are in decline.

Earlier on Pakistan&rsquo;s telecom market struggled with the transition from a regulated state-owned monopoly to a deregulated and competitive environment. The government initially focused on fixed lines setting out ambitious plans to increase fixed-line teledensity from 2.5% in 2002 to 7% (around 10 million fixed lines) by 2010. This target became impossible to achieve in time.  <br><br>Original Post <a href=http://www.researchmoz.com/pakistan-telecoms-mobile-broadband-and-forecasts-report.html>Pakistan - Telecoms, Mobile, Broadband and Forecasts</a> <br> source  <a href="http://www.researchmoz.com">Researchmoz</a>]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[

Accelerated investment in FttX and Wi-Fi as mobile data soars

China outperformed all other major economies in 2011 although GDP growth slowed to 9%. The government vowed, in the 12th Five-Year Plan released in March 2011, to continue reforming the economy and emphasised the need to increase domestic consumption in order to make the economy less dependent on exports for GDP growth.

According to the International Monetary Fund, China&rsquo;s share of worldwide GDP is to grow from 1.7% in 1991 to 11% in 2014. This highlights the massive change underway in China. Telecommunications is an important vehicle to drive through this radical shift in economic prosperity and culture.

China&rsquo;s entire telecommunications market generated around &nbsp;US$160 billion in 2011. It is the second largest telecoms services market in Asia Pacific after Japan.

Malaysia becomes a regional leader with its nationwide broadband network

Malaysia has been working towards a clear national objective to see it ranked as a fully developed nation by the year 2020. This Vision 2020 was a concept introduced by the former Prime Minister Mr Mahathir in 1991 when he launched the Sixth Malaysia Plan. And the task of building an advanced telecom sector has strong relevance to achieving this national objective. It has also been a matter of national pride. For a period in the 1990s the country was busy promoting itself as a regional high technology hub. In recent times, however, it has adopted a quieter profile and simply gone about the task of putting what might be described as a technologically progressive economy in place. With the widespread application of modern technologies such as fibre optics, wireless transmission, digitalisation and satellite services, Malaysia has been steadily moving towards achieving its national goals.

Prepaid and 4G subscribers new growth areas into 2013

The mobile communications market in Australia has seen lots of infrastructure activity in the last year from the mobile network operators (MNOs), with some of the results of that activity still to come to fruition into 2013 and beyond. New investments are driven by a rapidly changing market led by consumer demand, handset saturation and the demand of faster-speed technologies in the fixed- broadband market. Competition in the mobile sector is driving the mobile market to a lower dollar value return on a user basis. This is being compensated by more data use on a variety of mobile devices and growth in the emerging M2M market.

In fairness to the industry regulator at the time, the industry over the years has not seen a sustained period of consistent policy direction from government.

Executive Summary

Fixed broadband market ready to move to high-speed

Australia is in a unique situation, where the government&rsquo;s vision for the national broadband network (NBN) has received widespread support. The current stage of development is in progress and that includes fibre, satellite and wireless. These developments will bring faster broadband within the reach of all Australians by the end of the decade. The economic and social changes will be profound in areas such as e-health, smart grids and internet of things (IoT), as well as the businesses and individuals involved. The NBN developments are discussed in a separate publication.

In this publication BuddeComm profiles the existing fixed and mobile broadband by sectors &ndash; including business, residential, ADSL and HFC, as well as a whole sector overview.

In the businesses sector we see that by 2012 many businesses are now interested in IT applications, including video media and cloud computing.

Broadband internet surge in the Philippines continues

The mobile segment of the telecom market in the Philippines has slowed significantly after years of solid growth. The slowing reflected, among other things, a general downturn in the Philippine economy. Although the economy certainly picked up in 2010/2011, growth in mobile subscribers has continued at a generally slower pace, with mobile revenue growth also down in what has been a highly competitive market. Into 2012 the Philippines had almost 95 million mobile subscribers. Penetration had eased past the 100% milestone by that stage and continued modest growth of between 5% and 10% looked likely.

As already observed the economy will be an important factor in the continued expansion of the Philippine telecom sector.

Europe seeing continuing broadband migration to fibre networks
The European broadband market continues to develop solidly despite the ongoing economic turmoil. The market during the next two to three years will be characterised by the migration to higher-data services and from copper-based networks to FttH. Although growth will remain steady, in part fostered by government economic stimulus funding, regulatory measures to encourage competition, and consumer socio-economic dependence on faster connectivity, in some markets the adoption of FttH and high-capacity broadband may be slowed due to the absence of a &lsquo;killer&rsquo; app which would warrant the additional cost involved for subscribers. Nevertheless, the collective growth in household data use, together with emerging high-end services and applications which will require FttH or upgraded DOCSIS3.0 technologies, will ensure the steady migration from DSL.

Indonesia starting to embrace broadband on a grander scale
After a period of uncertainty, the Indonesian telecom sector has settled into a healthy development phase. This country of around 240 million people presents a huge potential market; however, it faces some particularly big challenges that need to be confronted if it is to successfully continue the building of the telecommunications infrastructure required to support a large population spread over what is a uniquely complex geography. At the same time, there is no avoiding the fact that Indonesia must also continue to deal with a range of social, political and economic issues that have proved problematic over the years.

The embracing of fixed-wireless technology, after an early stumbling start to building the country&rsquo;s fixed-line network, provided a fresh basis for expansion. Wireless has now become the dominant component within the fixed market segment; by 2011 it made up 80% of the total fixed-line subscriber base. <br><br>Original Post <a href=http://www.researchmoz.com/indonesia-telecoms-mobile-broadband-and-forecasts-report.html>Indonesia - Telecoms, Mobile, Broadband and Forecasts</a> <br> source  <a href="http://www.researchmoz.com">Researchmoz</a>]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[

Market penetration to reach 60% among Africa's one billion people in 2012
Mobile phones represent more than 90% of all telephone lines in Africa. Market penetration passed the 50% mark in 2010 and is expected to reach 60% in 2012. Subscriber growth across the continent has slowed to around 17% p.a, but several individual markets are still growing at 50% p.a. or more and others stand at only single-digit penetration rates. The continent&rsquo;s most advanced markets have passed the 100% penetration mark.

Although the greatest demand is in the major cities, cellular solutions are also being employed to increase accessibility in rural and other disadvantaged areas. In addition to mobile networks, Wireless Local Loop (WLL) systems have been introduced in a large number of countries for the provision of fixed-wireless services, with CDMA-2000 1x having evolved as a preferred technology.

BuddeComm has developed the ICT Investment Attractivity (ICT-IA) index as a tool for investors to identify the most attractive information and communication technology (ICT) markets in a target region, be it worldwide or, for the purpose of this report, in Africa which continues to offer the highest growth rates and return on investment (ROI).

These extraordinary returns do, however, come at the expense of significant risks that African markets also pose to foreign investors. The ICT-IA index therefore takes various factors into account, including market growth, remaining potential, current and future services (voice and broadband data/internet), consumer spending power, and general business climate, to help investors identify those markets offering the best risk-to-opportunity ratio.

A positive outcome from the financial crisis was that it resulted in global attention turning to new infrastructure developments; facilitating a unique opportunity to shift the broadband emphasis from a high-speed Internet service to a national infrastructure for the digital economy that will underpin a range of positive social and economic developments. These developments are also referred to as the Internet of Things, of which the digital economy will play a key role.
